It has long been rumoured that neither the new console from Sony Computer Entertainment nor the Xbox 720 will allow you to play used games, thereby killing the pre-owned market stone dead. But now we know that at least one of the next-generation machines will.

Speaking to Eurogamer, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that gamers will be able to load up second-hand games. "Used games can play on PS4," he said.
